Starting out in Affiliate Marketing

When starting in affiliate marketing go into something you are passionate about so when you run into obstacles you will stick with it in the long run. You need to ask yourself 3 questions.


1. What are your interests?

Interests can fall into these categories in this order:

  1. Hobbies like pets/crafts/makeup/gaming

  2. Problem areas like people who are experiencing obesity or sleep issues (sleep apnea)

  3. Personal fitness/personal development

  4. Diets and financial

  5. Trends

So, say you look at all the things you are interested in and you finally decide to pick a niche in dog training.


2. Do people, spend money in this niche?

If people were to go to Facebook or YouTube, would they see advertisements for products for dog training?

What about books or magazines?

Are there blogs or communities that deal with this particular interest?


3. Last question.

Are there products to sell as an affiliate marketer for this interest in dog training or whatever niche you are looking to promote?

  • Are there banners or advertisements for products to buy in this niche

  • Books

  • Advertisements in your area for this type of niche

I just wanted to point out something when it comes to niches in trends. Especially when it comes to diets. Remember the Keto Diet was a big thing when it first came out? If you decide to pick something hot today, it can be here today and gone tomorrow. That’s how the Keto Diet was. It was really popular for a while and now it’s that big of a deal. You are better off to pick something that is here for the long term and is something that is not going to be going away any time soon.


Here are the facts. If you see advertisements for the niche you have selected then there is money to be made for you as an affiliate marketer. Do the research and make sure it’s in line with your interests and goals and you will be on your way to making money online.
